Born on April the 24th of 2003 to be an enhanced version of it's parent Windows XP, including new cutting edge features (for the time) such as:

Internet Services IIS v6 (to host and manage websites)

Improved options for Active Directory (to manage domain users)

Improved disk management (finally we could backup open files, no more daily shutdowns)

Less unresponsive periods thanks to support of "watchdog timer"

Automated System Recovery which removed the need to create a "Rescue Disk"

It was proclaimed obsolete and therefore the plug was disconnected by Microsoft techs and developers the night of July 14, 2015. As support for it was stopped, no more Security Updates and Patches will be generated in the future. Wake ceremony could be attended at your nearest server room or data center.

"If I should die and leave you here a while,be not like others sore undone,who keep long vigil by the silent dust.For my sake turn again to life and smile,nerving thy heart and trembling handto do something to comfort other hearts than thine.Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mineand I perchance may therein comfort you"~~ Mary Lee Hall

Just like a dead body starts to rot, If your company is still running Windows Server 2003, it will literally start "stinking" because each day will be more vulnerable to Internet threats, viruses and hackers, putting your data at risk of being stolen or lost.

The good news is, Server 2012 R2 has now more licensing options, making it affordable to every business and system requirements can easily accommodate on hardware that goes from tight budgets to heavy worldwide enterprises; Not to mention it is fully integrated with cloud services and can manage networks running any version of Windows from Vista to Windows 10.
